Private Quito Colonial Walking Tour

On this 3-hour tour, you will be introduced to Colonial Quito! A city of narrow cobblestone streets lined with whitewashed walls and, rising above, the steeples and cupolas of the city´s many spectacularly decorated historic churches. The city has one of the best-preserved colonial centers in all South America and its integrity was assured in 1978 when the United Nations declared Quito a World Cultural Heritage site. We will walk through the Main Plaza, where you will see the Government Palace and some of the most important churches built around the XVI and XVII centuries, including the La Compañía, and the San Francisco Monastery which was begun 5 days after the founding of the city in 1534. We will also visit the city’s most famous colonial street, La Ronda, where we will learn about traditional work in Colonial Quito.
